Gold parts and red bolts are spot gloss

Plus Shadow's eyes, and Robotnik's goggle lenses and the metal buckles on his suit.

It wasn't, no. At least not for months, anyway. Beauty shots were updated with retailers ages ago. It was just an initial assumption.

to be honest, i did assume but also could have sworn it said 2 discs when up for preorder way back in what, jan? (whacked in a pre-order with Loki season 2 steel)
bit annoyed but can always grab a blu-ray disc down the line, just annoyed to have mismatched set as the first two are BR and this ones 4K only.
meh

I do love the finish though, matte is great when used right, though the spot gloss is very subtle.
Did plan on putting the trilogy disc's inside it but now am thinking of double dipping, 4k in shadow steel and blu-ray in sonic's...maybe.

that said, aside from Arcane series 1, its the first UK, non-premium steel i've bought since maybe 2018/2019. Maybe my expectations have lowered too much lol
